Powerpoint presentation

Here is the information that i am going to use in my presentation.

BBC Three
 
 The BBC three has been showing since 2003.

The effects of smoking
The risks of smoking 
 The facts of smoking
My documentary
the details of the topic chosen
Slide three

The facts
 
Smoking is very addictive - this is because it contains nicotine. Nicotine  gives you energy, concentration and a buzz off it and, when you've had that energy, you need more, so you smoke again to get the same effect.
4,000 different chemicals are inhaled when you smoke a fag.
60 or more can cause cancer.
When you inhale you also take in tar that sticks to your lungs, which is the development of lung cancer cells.
According to the NHS Lung cancer affects 30,000 in England and Wales a year.
1 in 8 who are not smokers, the rest are smokers.
 Slide four
What happens when you take fags away?
You start to feel….
You start to feel dizzy
 Restless
 Frustrated
 Difficulty sleeping
 Moody
 Tend to eat more
 Lack of concentration
Slide five
Images
 
These are some images of the main effects that smoking can have on you, effects such as failing lungs, rotten teeth and cracked skin.
Slide six

The main effects of smoking
There are a number of different cancers that are caused by smoking these are:-
Lung cancer
Cervical cancer
Bladder cancer
Stomach cancer
Kidney cancer
Oral cancer, which is cancer in the mouth.
Slide seven
 My doc

Two smokers will be giving up smoking for five days, one is a light smoker and one is heavy smoker. They will do two fitness tests to see the difference quitting smoking can do within those five days.
The light smoker will be using a basic and structured plan, the heavy smoker will be using Nicorette products.
Slide eight
 What must they do?
Throughout the week the two smokers must
 Do 2 fitness tests
Speak about their reasons on smoking
Go out socializing with smokers and non smokers
Read about the effects of smoking
And give up for five days
Slide nine


What do I want from this documentary?
 
I want to see the effects of the two smokers giving up smoking.
I want to see that they want to continue to not smoke anymore
To raise awareness to other people smoking.
Slide ten

Why am I doing this topic
 
I am doing this topic because recently my gransha died of lung cancer due to smoking. It effected the family a lot and I don’t want to see anyone go through what we went through. To see a family member slowly lose energy and not being able to move, is horrible and smoking caused this.

Griersonian mode

Griersonian Mode

What mode am i using?

For my documentry I will use a Griersonian mode, called the voice of god, because I want to able to use images and voiceovers and give the documentary a better effect. I think that using this mode will present the documentry better than having the presenter visable, this is because there then will be too many people on camera and may spoil the effect of the two smokers quitting on their own.

For example i will be the voice over for the documentary, describing what they are doing, results and other things that is relavant to the documentary.

What will i do?

  • I will ask questions or talk to the two smokers, but you will not see me.
  • I will also used recorded footage that i have filmed on my documentary to replace where i could of been visable to the camera.
  • Writing for cast and crew names.
  • Replace any quiret gaps if i am not speaking.

market research

Market research

Every business and company researches their market; this is to insure that they can continue to proceed with what they are aiming for. There are many tasks and aims that must be done in completing a documentary; one of the most important tasks is to market research. It is important that you research the market for a documentary because you need to know what you are aiming for. From researching you can tell and complete other tasks set, for example from researching the market you can cancel any previous ideas to relevant to an existing ones and can improve other ideas further. There are different types of research, which is primary research, secondary research, and existing products. Primary research is research that you have done yourself, for example giving out questionnaires relevant to the topic and interviewing people of the subject with questions and answers relevant. Secondary research is research that is someone else’s, for example-taking information from the Internet, books, magazines and newspapers. Existing products is products that have already been made and that you see it as an example to help you with your own work. You can use that idea and change it into your own. Researching the market is important because you need to make sure that you do not steal ideas and name it your own. (Copyright). Also collecting a wide range of ideas, which can help you develop other ideas of your own. Carrying out market research helps you to gather information needed for your documentary, information that can help you to continue with an idea. For example the target audience, without the target audience you then cannot see what can and cannot be included within the documentary.  The genre, without a genre you cannot start the script in case it does not suit the genre chosen later on. The music, without music you cannot give a feeling to the viewers. Also you cannot involve people in the documentary without knowing what ages and personalities are needed. Without the market research nothing can start because without the basic idea and information, progress cannot begin.

Day Five/filming

On day five the two smokers did the same test but in the hall in the College, this was because of the snow on the field they had used last time, i decided to use the hall for health and safety reasons.

After the test they then gave their conclusion on how the week went and what they will do in the future.

I felt like the documentary went well but i feel like the documentary could be more entertaining and more thought out (back up plans).

What went well?
  • They improved.
  • They enjoyed the test.
  • evaluation of the week was good, they had alot to say.
Even better if?

  • test was in a gym.

Tuesday, 30 November 2010

Problem

Problem

The problem that i faced was that i needed to film the two smokers doing the fitness test, but because of the snow they were unable to do the fitness test in the same place.

Where?

The two smokers will film in the dance studio, due to health and safety from the previous place.

After the fitness test the two smokers will then give their conclusion.

Monday, 29 November 2010

Editing

Whilst editing I found that i had so much information and interviews, even though they were needed, the documentary is too long and filming has not edited.

What am i going to do?

Edit everything that i need, then edit to the right time.

Music.

Jungle book, i wanna be like you.
Ting Tings shut up and let me go.

Day four/filming

Day four

For day four Richard and Jessica travelled down to accountants plus, where there was a spare room for us to record in.

For the day i recorded
  • how they were feeling
  • how they were coping
  • to see if they know anything and learned anything about smoking











This is Richard and Jessica preparing for fiming in the "spare room".

For day five someone who works for stop smoking Wales rang me and said they could organise an interveiw with somone from Saint Andrews in Tonypandy, i wanted them to interveiw someone who knew one the topic because i wanted to get professional information and them to get a more better understanding on the subject.

What went well?

  • Both made the effect to travel
  • they had honest evaluations of the day.
  • they learned from the smoking presentation.
Even better if?
  • they knew more on what they learned.

Wednesday, 17 November 2010

Day three/filming

Day three

For day three there wasnt alot of filming this was because Jessica wasnt in which was a major problem for filming, in day three Richard is talking about how he feels and that Jessica is not in. They will record themselves tonight for a video diaries, and they will do this for day four and five, because we are not in college which makes filming a little bit harder.

I filmed in Coleg.

what went well?

  • Richard was in.
Even better if?

  • If Jess was in.
  • Went out to socialize to see how they react with their friends.

Day two/ filming

Day two

For day two we had to do a presentation for key skills, which was very good because the two smokers got to see a presentation on smoking, they were then asked what they thought of the presentation, the reaction given was good and expected.

Also on this day they:-
  • interveiwed people
  • their reactions on the smoking presentation
  • how they were feeling on the day.
I felt like we got alot of different opinions which was relavant and good, i felt like they had more of an understanding on smoking and that they are coping well and arent craving as much.

Richard seems to be craving less than Jessica, since Jessica had a fag last night, she had a disipline for this and she had to pay money to charity to do so. (this is to help her realise how much she is spending on fags.).
Jessica seems to want to smoke more and feels sleepy and unhappier than Richard. Even though he says the product given doesnt seem to be working it does seem to have its effects.

There are images for evidence, images such as
  • Nick who was interveiwed by Richard, he has also been helping with the camera equiptment (crew).
  • Richard who was being filmed for interveiwing
  • Jessica who had to pay money to cancer research





 
What went well?

  • The interveiws, i found we had a range of answers.
  • Evaluation of the day, i thought the evaluation was honest and needed footage.
Even better if?

  • interveiw with a doctor

Day one/ filming

Day one

For day one i wrote myself a plan of what i was going to do, i stuck to this and this is my plan.

  • fitness test
  • the two smokers smoking
  • them talking about who they are, why they smoke, how long, how many, and the infulences.
  • them opening envelopes, within them is the how much they spend a day, week, month and yearly.
  • interveiw their friends.
I felt like this day went really well, i felt that they really tried and listened to the information and questions that they where given. I thought that the day was planned well and that we used what we had to the best we could. With the footage i want to use it and change it in editing.

What went well?
  • The fitness test because they tried and told how they felt.
  • The footage, i felt like i captured enough and had alot to work with.
Even better if?
  • Had the fitness test in a gym.
  • Talked to a doctor.

Risk assessment/schedule

Risk assessments

  • Risk assessments are vital and they must be done before filming in any area
  • Places such as in the Coleg, there can be fires, cables, cars etc.
  • For this i had to say what risk and what to do to prevent it and who to blame if this happens.

  • Cars- wear a visible jacket so that i can be seen
  • Cables- selotape them down
  • Fires- no liquids or dangerous chemicals around equipment
Coleg Morgannwg and Enterprise Centre is where I am filming.

Wednesday, 3 November 2010

Day 5/research

Day 5

In day five there will be the drinking theory, where the two smokers will have a drink and have temptations of smoke, (hanging around someone smoking). From this i want to see them crave but resist smoking.

What will i have to do?

confirm with parents of the smokers that they are aloud to drink
confirm with the pub that they are aloud to film there

Back up plan?

if i cannot film in the pub i will have them in a house party either in my house or someone who allows house parties, to use that house party to see if the smokers can resist smoking whilst under alcohol.

Tuesday, 2 November 2010

Day 4/Research

Videos diaries should be used for evidence that the two smokers have quit smoking. They will both have individual cameras to record themselves.

What do i want to see?

Jessica:-

to cope very well with giving up smoking and fins that the NHS plan work well for her.

Richard:-

To see that quitting smoking is a struggle and that he gets the effects that are in my research.

I want to be able to see five days of a video diary, this will be useful and vital to the documentary.

Day 3/Research

Day 3

For day three there is a presentation involved, i will use powerpoint, for the powerpoint i need:-

  • images
  • information
For the images and the information i will research on the internet using Google.
For the presentation i will need to section the slides i will section them like this:-
  • title
  • introduction
  • facts
  • risks
  • images
  • calculations of how much they spend each year, fortnight, month, year.
  • evaluation
Title

Smoking

Introduction

The introduction will say what this presentation is about and what will be read and showed

Facts

The facts will be on smoking and where the information is from.

Risks

What are the risks of smoking, showing where the risks was taken from.

Images

I will research and use images from google on smoking.


NHS calculator 

This is the link:- http://smokefree.nhs.uk/quit-tools/cost-calculator/
On average they spend 5.35 a pack
 
5 per day
Jessica:-

Week:- £9.39 which is the equivalent of a cinema ticket
Month:- £40.68 which is the equivalent of a spray tan at a salon
Year:- £488.19 which is the equivalent of 8 premier league tickets 

20 per day
Richard:-

Week:- £37.55 which is the equivalent of five trips to the cinema
Month:- £162.73 which is the equivalent of a mobile phone
Year:- £1952.75 which is the equivalent of 32 premier league tickets or 278 cinema tickets

Together a day they smoke 25 fags

Week:- £46.94 which is the equivalent of 6 cinema tickets
Month:- £203.41 which is the equivalent of 4 dvd box sets
Year:-£2440.94 which is the equivalent of 24 mobile phones or 24 family day out tickets

Hopefully this will surprise them and make them realise how much they are spending.

Evaluation

The evaluation will be the conclusion on smoking the topic.

Day 2/research

Day 2

For day 2 i will have to research a number of doctors that is local and that i can get information on about the risks of smoking if they continue to keep the habit up.

What did i do?

asked the two smokers where they lived and then tried to find out their local GP, they both go to the same one so i looked on the internet and researched what the name of the clinic is and the phone number, which is Taff Vale Practice 01443 406591

I then researched for one in Ponty which is not fair from where they live, the number for the Ponty clinic is 01443 40444.

I want to interview a doctor to able to get a professional view and professional information.

What questions to ask?

1. Is smoking harmful to the body?
2. What are the effects of smoking?
3. What happens if someone smokes cuts it off completely?
4. What will happen if the two smokers continue to smoke?

These are the questions that i want to ask the doctor to get the information that i need for my documentary. 

Day 1/ research

To be able to record a fitness test, i must first research somewhere where fitness instructors do fitness test, and if there is a cost.

I have to:-
  • Research a area
  • Instructor
  • Test
  • Price
Whilst researching i came across Ystrad sports Centre i came across the details:-

Gelligaled Park
Ystrad
Rhondda
Rhondda Cynon Taff
CF41 7SY

Tel : 01443 434093

There was then a link which i clicked on this link was the Rhondda Cynon Taff, this gave me no information on the sports centre and what they do, so i will ring them to see if they provide fitness tests.


I rang the sports centre and they said that i should go to the gym and talk to the head of the gym to see what they can arrange for me, this is because i have a gym card which allows me more access. Once i go to the sports centre then i will be able to see where i can from there.


This is the logo for the Rhondda Cynon Taff.
I collected this image of Google.

videos

Videos/research

For the opening sequence i will also be putting videos that i are seen by people on adverts, etc. I will also be using these videos throughout my documentary to show what is being advertised to the public on the television or on the internet, manly youtube.


This is the logo for Youtube, i have taken this image from Google.

I will begin my research looking at youtube.
I will type in smoking adverts to see the results. The results that i had were 184, i am going to look at a number of adverts which stands out and that i can use, mostly ones which are relevant.

I looked at some smoking ads and decided that it would be better to use NHS ads, so i typed in NHS smoking ads, the results that i had were 36.

These adverts i found look relevant and has a impact because of what is being shown, these are the links for further use

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftkYPpD4K8M
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HccVUazOb-M
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anFK9SA5kKw

I will be contacting the NHS to see if i can use their adverts and to see if they can send me a download which will look good in my documentary.

Music

Music

The type of music that i want to use must be a happy song, not to lighten the subject but to make the smoking look more of a joke, if i use music which is lighter than the subject then the opening will work better.

I will research websites to be able to find the appropriate music. I will search we7 which has a range of music available.

The music that i have decided to use is by Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis called smoking, i want to use this because it has the humour that i want and the instant get of what topic i am doing.

I went onto the website we7 and they do not allow me to buy the song, so i went in amazon and they were selling to download but the song was different from the song i heard on we7, so i am going to keep researching songs.
 
I then research more and found that the Ting Tings shut up and let me go, went well with the theme, and the song i wanna be like you, from jungles book.

Images

Images
These images are disgusting and show the truth of smoking.













I am going to use these because i think that these images are disgusting, straight to the point and graphic, i want people to look away of what they have seen, to make them think twice before smoking.


Primary research

Primary research
Now that I have finished my secondary research, which is finding information from the internet, i must now do my primary research.

What primary is there?

Questionnaire
Interviews
Contacting company related

Questionnaire


I am going to make a questionnaire which is related to smoking, i will first find out their details such as job, gender, etc. Then at the end of the questionnaire ask a couple of questions of smoking. This questionnaire will be given to random people of all ages to make the research fair. The questionnaire will tell me the average of smokers and their status.
Interviews


I will ask two people who don't smoke on their thoughts on smoking and then i will ask two smokers on what they think of smoking, this will give me hopefully two points of views and what people think of smoking in general. The questions that i will ask will be:-
Do you smoke?
What do you think of smoking?

Contacting

To contact NHS will help me get the information straight from the place where information is given and products are used to help people quit, if i get the information from contacting then i get the experience of what a smoker feels like when they ring to quit.

When I rang the NHS i was told that there is support like meeting and infomation that is send to the person, and that if they need anything to ring up and ask for. I thought that the information given is very helpful and i understood what i would be given, (information).

I will be giving out a questionnaire to see the average number of people smoking, i will give these questionnaires out to people i do not know to make the results fair.

The questionnaires that i will be asking is their status, if they smoke, gender, etc.

Target audience


In every product and film, you must need to the target audience, this is because you then can see what can be included and what cannot be included due to ages. For example an 18 film can only be shown to 18’s and older, this is because the e.g. film may contain swearing and violence to extreme for someone who is 18 and younger.
The target audience is a guide of what you can use in what you are doing, you can then see the levels of e.g. laughter used.

Support for people quitting

There is a number of different ways of smoking, and there is different supports. The most common support is from the NHS, but there is support that is given from your friends and family. Some people also use the internet for support because there is a mass of information that is given to people searching to quit. 


I typed in on google "quit smoking", the result was 4,200,000.
This shows me that there is a lot of information provided to people who want to quit.


The NHS provides a mass of support such as a quit kit which provides a mass of information on smoking, information on quit smoking medicines, music to calm your cravings, and more information that you may need. The NHS also provides support online such as calculate the cost, which helps you to see how much you spend each, week, fortnight, month and year. This is there to shook the smoker and make them realise how much money they are spending. Addiction test, support materials, timeline and make a promise.
You can also order a number of support materials which will be send to your home within 6-10 days of order.




















There is also a number of products that can be used to help quit smoking, products such as the invisipatch, 
icy white gum, inhaltor, microtab, gum and nasal spray.
All of these products are provided by Nicorette. Which is a company of products to help people who want to quit smoking.
















These two types of support is what i am going to use in my documentary.
The images that i have used is from google and the information is from the NHS and Nicorette.

When i ordered the quit kit from online, it said that it would take 6-10 days. I did wait those days and then rang the NHS number to see why i had not received the quit kit. They then said that they do not send it to Wales. I found that it was unfair to people in Wales who are trying to quit, because the support is not send and that it should be because people do smoke in Wales and need the support.

Advertisement of anti smoking

Advertisement

Advertisement of anti smoking is there to help smokers realise that they are harming their body, and advertisement is used to show them. Before the anti smoking adverts there were advertisements to make people smoke, they were usually seen on billboards, they are now banned, because of the amount of influence it had on people to smoke, they tried to make people think smoking was cool.


















Above is an example of advertisement of smoking.

There is a number of advertisement of anti smoking such as billboards, leaflets, networking, adverts, posters and images.























































These are all advertisements to stop people from smoking, to disgust them to stop quitting. The most common of advertisement is on a cigarette packet, so when the smoker sees the packet, they will see what is happening to their insides.




























There are two types of advertisement on cigarette packets which is writing and images, the images are very influential to people to quit smoking because some images are there to disgust you.

The images that i used is from google.
The information that i have used is my own words.
